Last time around when shopping, I liked the i3, but the lease rates were more than double those for the Fiat 500e, so I went with the latter.
That's still the case, but now that my lease is almost up, I'm again exploring all options. I've got 2ish months left, but may benefit from getting something before my lease is up, so I'm doing some research.
I may go with a CPO i3, but depending on rebates, a new one may make more sense.
So, I have some questions I haven't found answered in my search of the forum.
1) How much better is the Harmon Kardon upgraded sound system, especially on the 2017s? Big difference, little difference?
2) What are the "must have" packages on the i3? For example, is the parking package a must since rear visibility is somewhat compromised?
3) If you don't need the safety net of the REX, my thinking is that the BEV version is better - cheaper, lighter, less maintenance, longer term HOV sticker (in CA).
4) On my 500e, the optional sunroof is actually useful, since to save range I rarely use climate control, and cracking the sunroof gives me enough ventilation to keep the windshield from fogging up most of the time. How useful is the sunroof on the i3?
Thanks in advance.
